The Secrets of the Unknown Glitches

Tamashii sat on her bed, resting her hand on her loyal Jigglypuff. The young 15 year-old's eyes filled with worry. "This is all my fault," she thought. "Jiggly!" said her Jigglypuff, trying to cheer her up. Back when Tamashii was little, she had done something terrible. But nobody knew. Yet. A tear rolled down Tamashii's cheek. She took a tissue to wipe it off.

"Jiggly," said Tamashii. "Do you still like me?"

"Jiggle jiggle puff!" her Jigglypuff answered.

Tamashii hoped that was a yes. "The things we do when we're young..." she thought, trying to cheer herself up. But soon, people would know what she had done. "I might as well become a member of Team Rocket and be in trouble all the time. I'd get used to it." When she was little, a Rocket had saved her from drowning. Ever since, she had always admired Team Rocket, but had never considered joining before.

"Jiggly!" said the cute, pink puffball.

"You understand, Jiggly," assured Tamashii, mostly to herself. "I know you do."

Just then, Tamashii heard a loud boom. Startled, she leaped over all of the stairs on her staircase, but what she found was worth spraining her ankle: the same Team Rocket member that had saved her when she was little. Her eyes filled with tears of happiness. But, Tamashii's expression changed when she took a closer inspection at the Rocket member: Her eyes were also filled with tears, but of sadness. Plus, her uniform was torn and she had broken her arm and sprained her ankle. Suddenly, Tamahii's Jigglypuff jumped up and prepared to launch a tackle attack. "No!" screamed Tamashii and acted as a shield. However, the tackle attack was too strong, knocking her out. The Rocket member- who was 22 years old- scooped Tamashii up in her arms and carried her away, Jiggly closely following behind.

"WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER?!" Tamashii's mother screamed into the phone.

"Sir, the Hoenn Police Force has not seen any sign of your daughter. Your daughter is missing until further notice."

"I'M A GIRL!!!!!!!" yelled Tamashii's mom, out of control by now. She slammed the phone down, but missed and it hit the floor and shattered. Tamashii had certainly not inherited her personality from her mother. Tamashii was very quiet and had few friends- all of them being pokemon- while her mother had many friends and could be upset easily. But Tamashii was different. She hardly talked and lived in a dream world. She loved to daydream, write and draw. But she hated to talk. However, she loved to sing and had an amazing voice; while her talking voice was quiet, rough and gravelly, her singing voice was amazing. She sounded like an angel.

By now, Tamashii had woken up, slightly opening her eyes and looking at the Team Rocket member with a naive expression. "You'll be OK," cooed the Rocket member. "You'll be OK."

"I have to get you to a hospital, and quick," thought the Rocket member. She changed into her "typical trainer" outfit, consisting of a red bandana, a ponytail, an aqua cutoff tank top and a pair of very small denim shorts. "Oh wait!" she spoke her thoughts aloud. "My flip-flops!" She quickly substituted her Team Rocket shoes with her casual flip-flops.

"Wake up," she whispered.

Tamashii weakly sat up, closely examining the girl that was standing in front of her. After a careful inspection, Tamashii realized who she was. Her eyes filled with happiness. "I have so many questions!" exclaimed Tamashii. "Ever since I was little, I've admired you for saving me!"

The Rocket was confused for a second. Suddenly, she remembered. "You're the little girl I saved from drowning!"

"My name is Tamashii," she said, in a calmer voice. "Yours?"

"Marina," she answered. "My name is Marina. I'm a class A Rocket member." Suddenly, she forged a huge grin that she had been trying to hide. But she wasn't embarrassed, because Tamashii had the biggest grin on her face that she had ever seen. However, Jigglypuff didn't look so happy...

Tamashii's mother was pacing the floor, cursing to herself. That was why she didn't have a husband. And she probably never would. Finally, she screamed out, "WHERE IS MY TAMASHII?!" Soon, she was putting up "missing" posters of Tamashii. She was eager to find her daughter, the love of her life. She'd had issues with family when she was younger, and her closest friend was Tamashii, her daughter. Suddenly, there was a loud "BOOM!".

"That must've come from Oldale Town!" cried Tamashii's mother. They lived in Littleroot town, so her mom was not so far. But what she saw... she could not describe.
